What Is My Home Worth?
Know your number,not last July’s.
BC Assessment values are set months before they arrive in your mailbox, and properties are rarely visited in person. Here’s how to get a figure you can rely on.
Assessment vs. Market Value
Think of your assessmentas a weather forecast.
It spans a far larger area than the unique ecosystem of your neighbourhood, your street and your home, and it was made last July, not last week. That’s why provincial assessments can be significantly too high or too low, and should never be relied on alone for a sale, purchase or refinance.
BC Assessment’s online tools are a useful starting point for comparing neighbouring properties and sample sales. But setting a price for your home deserves a professional eye.
